Collection Professionals Inc. has been attempting to collect a debt on behalf of the XXXX XXXX Fire Protection District and the Lawfirm XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. The debt in question totals in the amount of {$4100.00}. I have never done any type of business with either of these companies nor have I ever been notified from either of these companies that I was indebted to them. I did not even find out about the debts in question until I was contacted by Collection Professionals, Inc. I have received multiple letters and phone calls about this debt for several months prior to beginning the documentation of the correspondences. In previous attempts, I tried to explain to the agents that I was not the correct individual. I was informed that I would have to supply them with a partial Social Security number and/or my birth date to confirm my claim that I was not the correct individual. For obvious reasons, I was not willing to submit the information requested. I was informed that they would not be able to remove the claim against me unless I provided the requested information.
On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX I received another correspondence from Collection Professionals, Inc. I attempted to contact them by phone at XXXX XXXX CT on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was directed to an individual named XXXX. I informed XXXX that I was recording the call and I was immediately disconnected. I called back right away and was directed to XXXX again. XXXX informed me that I do not have permission to record the conversation as Illinois law requires that he give consent. I told him that the call was being recorded and that if he is not willing to discuss the matter while being recorded, then I will consider the matter closed. He did say that he was willing to discuss the matter but reiterated that I did not have his permission to record the conversation. At that point, I informed him that I do consider the matter closed and I expect their company to stop all correspondences and attempts to collect this debt from myself, XXXX XXXX who resides at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Illinois. I then ended the call.
I did not hear anything again about this debt for nearly a year and assumed that the matter had finally been resolved. On XX/XX/XXXX, I did receive a new letter from Collection Professionals, Inc. This letter is threatening legal action if I do not pay the balance in full. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received any further information regarding the potential lawsuit.
I did check with the credit bureaus verifying that I was not a victim of identity theft. There is no record in my credit report that I have ever incurred the debt mentioned.

This is the document that I was coerced into signing in order for them to release my funds. I was told that I just need to provide this actual document to my bank and they would fax as well and my funds would be released. I asked how is this legal, I received no notification, the lady at the desk got the attorney, I asked the same question, I was given no answer. I requested to see the documentation that was " apparently '' mailed to me, she then held up a document ( she would not let me touch it and examine for myself and then I asked what the date it was mailed and she looked down and said XXXX XXXX, I then stated that is today. I drove the above document to my bank, XXXX XXXX Bank and was then told that the document has not been received via fax. I then called the attorney 's office, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ltd and stated that they have not received their faxed copy. The lady was rude and stated that they faced at XXXX. The bank teller XXXX called back to the main branch and was then told that they can not accept this agreed order ( signed under duress, they would not release the levy that I had no prior warning to unless I agreed to an amount and was given no factual legal law that they had the authority to enforce a levy under. I either signed or my funds would be 100 % depleted ). The document would not be accepted to release my funds unless signed by a judge. I called the above attorney 's office again and asked why I was told that the document would suffice as is. I was verbally humiliated and hung up on. I called my workplace and said I had an emergency and personally drove to the courthouse to get a judges signature as I was told by the above said attorney 's office that an attorney from their office would be there today for another court matter and he would try to get the judges signature and they would hopefully fax the correct document to my bank today. I drove XXXX miles to the courthouse and waited. During that time I called the above stated attorney 's office to gather a time frame so I could notify my employer of my return and I was accused of " stalking their attorney at the courthouse and that the matter was out of my hands '' I was again hung up on. I chose to wait for their attorney and he obtained from the judge the proper documentation needed to provide to my bank in which I hand delivered at approx XXXX. I have XXXX children and I do not earn a large some of money and just now in my adult life have health insurance.

I received a collection letter from Collection Professional , Inc sent on XX/XX/XXXX20 stating they are collecting for IL XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1100.00}. I responded via mail onXX/XX/XXXX20 with a letter advising them of my dispute, as this bill is a result of a military on-duty injury. This injury was reported and paid as worker 's compensation. I mailed proof of that ( military documents ) along with my letter and contact information for my drill unit. On XX/XX/2020 I received another letter from Collection Professional , Inc attempting to collect on the same date with no regard to my letter sent to them. This time they included a copy of the bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I replied via mail again on XX/XX/20 basically stating the same thing as I originally stated in my XX/XX/20 letter and requested that they stop collection practices and warned that I would report to XXXX and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau if they continue collection. Today I am in receipt of yet another letter attempting to collect a debt, however, this one now shows interest added to the account ( {$1100.00} ). I wish for this company to cease collection practices and properly investigate this debt. In my third and final letter to them onXX/XX/20, I'm including contact information for my drill unit so that they can verify that this is a worker 's comp case and I'm not responsible for this debt. It appears that they are ignoring my request and continue to send the same attempt to collect letters. As military personnel, my credit report/rating is extremely important to me and an inaccurate date can jeopardize my employment and future career and financial related goals. I'm requesting that you contact them immediately ask them to cease collection attempts and remove this derogatory item from my credit report.

I was informed that there were debts in collections that were actually accrued by my now ex husband. He wasnt paying them and it was/is ruining my credit so I did the right thing and set up payments. Now that I am almost done paying in the debts, I called the company to request a print out of the debt ( who owed the debt, the total amount paid, and the date of service ) I was informed that they could not go back and do that in their system. The representative said our system doesnt show what you have paid only what you still owe and we cant reprint. This is why we stress to our clients to keep the monthly statement we send. I was NEVER told one time I needed to keep that statement or I definitely would have. I even asked for their advice on how I could go about getting that information and she had no answers and said unfortunately I dont think youll be able to obtain that, and if you call the original creditor theyll just send you to us. I feel very helpless especially when I tried to do the right thing and pay the debts ( that really arent even mine ). The debts were from collection professionals in XXXX Illinois. There were a total of three bills. The totals that I was told were for {$940.00}, {$54.00}, XXXX XXXX.she only provided me with vague details stating one was from radiology and one was from XXXX ( our local hospital ) Please help. All I want it a print out of what I paid, who the debt was for etc and I feel I have the right as a consumer?

I went in for a procedure in XXXX of 2016. I was told the procedure was {$5000.00} flat fee all included and insurance covered it. I paid my copay and had the procedure done. Now, 2 1/2 years later, this is on my credit report for {$910.00}. Much of this is fees and add on XXXX. charges for surgical trays and a consultation that were never mentioned. I had the procedure on the same day as the consultation where I was given all of the information. They checked my insurance, verified it was covered, took my copay before they would operate and then performed the procedure. The attached invoice shows that the insurance company actually paid them more than their quoted price that they offer when someone inquires. The procedure caused many undesired complications which I am still dealing with and now the Dr. is trying to collect on fake fees and trumped up consult and tray charges. Seems to be more of a greed driven business than a Dr .
I am happy to discuss and I will be doing anything and everything possible to get this false charge off my credit.

XXXX XXXX attempted to collect {$560.00} from me for a rented water cooler. I tried to settle with company to buy the cooler outright. Company refused and sent the collection amount to The Law Offices of XXXX XXXX in XXXX, ILlinois. I settled with The Lawyers on an amount of {$260.00} to be paid by me and I keep the water cooler. I sent 4 payments totalling the full amount owed. 15 months later XXXX XXXX sent this same account to XXXXOLLECTION PROFESSIONALS INC in an attempt to collect {$2200.00} from me. COLLECTION PROFESSIONALS INC HAS CALLED ME 9 TIMES IN 6 DAYS. Harassing me. I called them back, they hung up on me. I recieved ONE form of physical mail, a letter from them with no Account Number, No Validation, No Itemization. I am enclosing the document they sent to my mailing address. This is an extortion attempt. My next step will be contacting the STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF ILLINOIS AND AN ATTORNEY TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

I received a letter from a debt collector stating I owed XXXX from a medical provider. I mailed a letter to the debt collector asking them to verify the debt. I requested dates of services, reason for the visit, and proof of previous payment. When I went to the XXXX XXXX office any out of pocket cost was paid at the time of the visit. I never received any bills, letters, or calls from the XXXX XXXX office.
I received a letter back from the debt collector stating " When an undisputed account is listed with us for collection, it is deemed to be due and payable in full. If you need time in which to secure the balance due, call or visit our office so that a reasonable extension of time may be granted ''.
This collections agency never supplied me with my request, basically they're stating if the debt was placed with them then the money is owed.

I called Collections Professional to find out more information on and to pay an old medical. I asked for more information and asked about settlement payment plans. The reps tone instantly changed and she became combative. This increased with every question i asked.
She said i had to hold for a supervisor.
XXXX would not give me his last name. I stated i needed to verify to whom i was speaking. He responded " I don't play games with " you people ''.
Im not sure what you people means but i feel like hes presuposing some kind of bias.
Turns out XXXX owns the place or claims he does. When i called him again he wouldnt say the name of the buissness. I called another number for the XXXX IL office and again XXXX answered with a hello i stead of identiting his business. It all just seems very surreptitious.

I am not sure what category this falls under but a company called Professional Inc. located in XXXX Illinois sued me for a debt that I owe to a bank located in town called XXXX XXXX XXXX. The debt is almost paid off however I noticed that they are taking XXXX dollars out of my paycheck every two weeks and it does n't seem to be adding up because they should be paid off by now. For instance, the last XXXX times I called they said they only received about 70 dollars and then XXXX dollars but my employer is garnishing my wages for XXXX every two weeks so where is the other amount going to? I know that your employer can charge you a fee for your wages being garnished but I have spoke with my employer and they do not charge a fee for that.

I was sent to collections and received a letter about a past due amount with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX out of XXXX , IL. I sent proof to Collections Professionals that this debt was paid back in XXXX and was required to send them proof, which was faxed ov er. Collections Professionals, Inc ( XXXX ) did nothing to verify that the debt was paid in full. I then received additional correspondence requesting the debt to be paid and had to call them a second time showing that the money was deposited from the insurance company into the Bank account of XXXX . I believe it is a violation of the Fair Debt and Collections Act no t to investigate and confirm the debt has been paid prior to repeatedly contacting me to pay the debt.

On XX/XX/20 I checked my credit and found Collection Professionals marked me as having outstanding bills due. These accounts was never a collections account and vendor extended payment plan. All checks went to vendor and never to collections agency because it was NOT A COLLECTION, Not even the correct account number or date on one. From the first dispute they removed 4 of the accounts and left 3 which were not collection accounts. The most recent demand for money from them was of XX/XX/20 showing 5 different accounts that are not even open because all accounts have been paid in full and closed with vendor, some over a year ago.
